Summary: General information about the Multics operating system.

archive-name: multics/general
URL: //www.multicians.org/general.html

=================================================================
The Multics FAQ continues to improve as people contribute information.
Please post updates to alt.os.multics or mail to <thvv@multicians.org>
=================================================================
Q) What is the purpose of this group?
A) This group is for the discussion of the Multics operating system.
   Discussion sometimes strays to other topics of interest to
Multicians, e.g.
      - Honeywell hardware architecture
      - CTSS, DTSS and other ancestors
      - Honeywell management mistakes and if-onlys
      - PRIMOS, GCOS Timesharing, UNIX, and other cousins and
descendants
   For discussions of the history of other operating systems, try
   alt.folklore.computers or the groups dedicated to these systems.

   alt.os.multics is a public unmoderated newsgroup with an estimated
   readership of thousands.  If you have a comment of limited interest,
   please use e-mail instead.
=================================================================
Q) What other sources are available on-line to find out more about
Multics?
A) There is a large set of Multics Web pages available at
        http://www.multicians.org/multics.html
    including hypertext versions of the FAQ files, the 250K Multics
    Glossary, papers, stories, and pictures of Multicians and 6180s.
    There are about 50 pages and 40 images.

    Paul Green provides this information at Stratus at
        ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/multics/tvv/multics.html
    (If you get a strange message from Netscape about passwords,
    it means that you need to define your mail address in the prefs.)

    Dave Vinograd mirrors the Multics info in England at
        http://www.staff.city.ac.uk/~sh392/multics/multics.html
